Primary source Internal intake · 1 reviewed intake signal · Desk window 07:58

TL;DR

Iran has launched attacks on US bases in Kuwait and Qatar, according to reports, in the latest wave of retaliation following US airstrikes on Iranian air defense sites. Footage circulating online shows air defense systems engaging targets over Qatar.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Iran has expanded its retaliatory strikes to include Qatar, with footage showing air defense systems activating over the Gulf state, according to reports. The attack also targets US bases in Kuwait, continuing a wave of retaliation that began after US airstrikes on Iranian air defense and radar sites earlier this morning.

As The Zioneer reported at 05:47 Jerusalem, Iran launched a wave of missile and drone strikes on US bases in several Gulf states and Jordan. The new reports indicate Qatar is now among the targets, marking a significant expansion of the theater. Over the past month, Iran has repeatedly struck US positions in Kuwait, Bahrain, and Jordan, while the US conducted multiple waves of strikes on Iranian strategic infrastructure.

Footage circulating online purportedly shows Qatari or US air defense systems intercepting incoming threats. The extent of damage, casualties, and whether this is a separate wave or a continuation of earlier barrages remains unconfirmed.
